AC Milan must reserve their energy and use the defensing strategy today as AC Milan VS Juventus will be held on this Sun. It is the most critical game for the whole season to determine who's going to win the Italian Series A.

Frankly, AC Milan is kinda lucky for today's game.
But I do believe its definitely another story when it play against Liverpool. (Italian League should be already finished before the final stage of ECC)

if AC Milan can win Juventus this weekend, it only has to win the following two games after Juventus and make a draw in the last game (which is the one after ECC final stage).
Or even it can lose in that match if it has a better goal difference, so AC Milan will definitely be another team in final match.
It definitely will be an exciting match that we are all looking forward.

A football club always care its own league champion much more than  ECC is that:
ECC's team is coming from last year's best team. It doesn't really means that u are the best even u win.
However, under the pressure of the fans, local mass media, etc., a league can at least be the best index to show that u are the NO. 1 team in its own country.

If AC Milan wins ECC, but lose in its own league. Its kinda like..."should we call it the best team in Europe?" The validity of this champion to reflect the team's ability will be much lowered in this point.
But if it wins the league, at least the mass media would say..."AC Milan is the best in Italy, but it loses in ECC because of the arrangement of its own schedule."

Keep in mind, u have to play for over 30 matches to win a league but about 15 matches in ECC only. That's why most football club prefer league champion to ECC.
